Andrew Stephens 3

Birth:8 Oct 1846Location:KentuckyDeath:27 Jan 1907Location:Pulaski Co, KyBuried:Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Russell Co, KyFather:Mother:Military:Co “C” 13th Kentucky CavPension #’s:Spouse:Martha Jane StephensMarriage:14 Sept. 1875Location:Russell Co, KySpouse 2:Victoria Coffey SmithMarriage:16 Feb 1890Divorced:18 Oct 1900Location:Russell Co, KyChildren:(with Martha) – Lucy A, Almarine, Mary Helen, Ferdinand, Lully (with Victoria) – PearlOccupation:Notes:This is the Andrew who started my entire “puzzle”. I ordered a pension file thinking it might be for Andrew 1. It was not the correct man, but I discovered that he was married to the sister of Andrew 1 first and later was married then divorced from my great-great grandmother from another line. I would love to know his parents. My theory is that they are Andrew Stephens 4 and Elizabeth Perry, but I have not found proof for that yet. This Andrew’s military information was mixed with Andrew 5 giving him difficulties in his pension process. Although Andrew 5 is from Pulaski County, I have included him in my list of Andrews because of this mix-up.

Andrew Stephens 5

Birth:Sept. 1841Location:KentuckyDeath:27 June 1928Location:Pulaski Co, KyBuried:Love Cemetery, Pulaski Co, KyFather:Ebenezer StephensMother:Military:Co. “G” 13th Ky Cav andCo. “G” 19th Ky InfPension #’s:Spouse:Susan “Preshy/Presha” SmileySpouse #2:Mary AnnMarriage:16 Jan 1860Location:Pulaski Co, KyChildren:Mary Ellen, John Milton, Sarah, Rebecca, Dicy, PleasantOccupation:Notes:I’m “patiently” waiting for this pension file to become available on Fold3 to see what information I might be able to find there. I know from Andrew 3’s pension file that THIS Andrew was given a 2 day furlough from the 13th Ky Cav and while he was home, his unit left without him. He later joined the 19th Ky Infantry, but was declared AWOL from the 13th Cav. Because of the AWOL charge, Andrew 3 was denied his pension for some time. My motivation for researching this Andrew is to see if there is information for my line mixed in his records.

4/30/16 – I have found Andrew’s will on FamilySearch. He gives everything to his wife, Mary Ann. He specifically mentions two land lots and gives deed books and page numbers.
